How to maintain nephritis

We should carefully adjust our diet. For patients with chronic renal failure, it is necessary to limit the intake of protein, which can reduce the nitrogen retention in the blood, reduce the burden on the kidneys, and be conducive to the rehabilitation of the disease. Generally speaking, the daily intake of high-quality protein for patients with renal failure weighing 50 kg should be 30 to 40 grams, with three meals divided equally. Animal protein, such as eggs, milk and lean meat, should be chosen as high-quality protein. Because it contains high amino acids necessary for human body, it produces less nitrogen-containing substances after decomposition in human body and has high nutritional value, so it is called high-quality protein. Plant proteins, such as rice, flour, corn, beans, etc., are called "inferior proteins" because of their low content of non-essential amino acids and low bioavailability, and should be restricted as appropriate.

It is worth noting that some patients make their own decisions through hearsay, thinking that restricting the intake of all protein with absolute taboos will be beneficial to health, leading to low plasma protein, malnutrition, decreased immunity, various infections and complications, and repeated edema. It also affects the treatment of diseases.

Pay attention to the limit of salt. If the patient does not have edema, hypertension or renal failure, it is generally not necessary to strictly limit the intake of salt than ordinary people, but it should not be too salty or spicy when eating, and it is better to be light, because salt is a condiment. If unnecessary patients are blindly restricted, it will affect the appetite of patients and cause malnutrition. However, if patients with edema and hypertension are not limited to salt, it will aggravate the retention of water and sodium in the human body, affect the effect of diuretics, and make edema difficult to disappear. Retention of water and sodium can also expand blood volume and cause blood pressure to rise, while salt restriction can reduce blood volume and blood pressure.

During the salt restriction, these patients kept asking, "I don't eat salt, but I can put some soy sauce and sauce ..." Unfortunately, the answer is: go. For the sake of health, you can only endure it for a while. Soy sauce and sauce have high salt content, which is within the limit. What is the limit of water? In general, there is no strict restriction on drinking water when patients have no urine and little edema, but in the case of edema and little urine, they should be restricted appropriately. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to drink 500 to 800 ml of water every day.
